Dear Orbital Gear Community,
After a decade of living the indie dev life, we have decided to close down Night Node. In order to preserve Orbital Gear it will become free to play. The game will no longer be supported and the servers might get shut down at some point. However, even if the servers are down the single player mode, Time Trial, should still be playable.
The pricing is planned to change on December 21 at 06:00 PM UTC. The Night Node team would like to thank you for your support over the years and hope you can still come back and enjoy the game with your friends whenever you feel like it.
With regards
Night Node Studios
